Gitmo Piglet Lawyer Drops Pants At News Conference
At least they have someone representing them that is like-minded…just as inbred, inept, and insane as they are.
He goes on to talk about the humiliation and verbal abuse that they must endure.
Give me a break.
In a recent interview with the Yemen Observer, David Remes, a Covington & Burling partner who was in Yemen working on his representation of 15 Yemeni detainees at Gitmo, told the journalist that he had “two missions” during the visit: “first to meet the families of the men that I represent in Guantanamo and second, to do what I can to promote the cause of these men.”
It was in the name of this zealous advocacy that Remes (Columbia, Harvard Law) removed his pants at a news conference on Monday. This morning, we caught up with Remes, who had just landed at JFK after a 14-hour flight from Dubai.
“I’d been to Guantanamo in mid-June,” explained Remes, “and there’s a certain amount of normalcy that has settled over the normal miserable conditions of confinement, which amount to solitary confinement without sleep and without sunlight and without anyone to talk to. So at the news conference, I said that, in addition to this torment, which has become so typical that we don’t even talk about it anymore, now the torment also consists of constant body searches in which the men are required to pull their shirts up to their chest, drop their pants, and then the corn-fed U.S. military sticks their thumbs under the prisoner’s underwear band and circles the prisoner’s torsos.” Remes said these searches can take place several times in the course of a day.
Remes continued: “At the press conference in Yemen — this is a society where the rule of morality is so strict — I wanted to drive home the degree of humiliation that these searches cause by illustrating a typical body search. The physical abuse they can stand. The verbal abuse they can stand. But when the military punishes Muslim men by shaving off their beard, or by forcing them to disrobe — for a Muslim man that is a thousand times more cutting than a Westerner can imagine. And that’s what I was trying to dramatize. The reaction to what I did makes me very sad. I wish people paid as much attention to the suffering and torment in Guantanamo as they paid to the way I sought to dramatize it.”

He wanted to show them his little beard

Everyone must realize that next time it is much easier and less costly to just kill the bastards. I hope they get searched 20 times a day and they never get any sleep, fucking rotten bastards.

July 18th, 2008 at 11:05 amPersonally, I think the law should state that when a person is captured in association with groups like the mahdi army, hamas, ect., and has consciously decided to take part in the tactics employed by such groups (kidnapping, torture, beheading, bombing schools, ect.), then he has also consciously decided to give up all of his human rights, and should be free game when captured.

Ghaaaa, its so horrible, we are so evil. The murdering terrorist scum have no one to talk to. The punishment is cruel and unusual given the minor nature of the crime.
July 18th, 2008 at 11:31 amWell I guess we could just cut their heads off and that would be the end of that. Oh yeah what am I thinking, only Muslims do that.

I thought that if you were captured in a war zone while armed and not dressed in the recognizable uniform of the opponents armed forces you would be considered a spy and therefore could be summarily executed. These jihadist are not protected by the Geneva Convention. We are in some cases saving their lives by not shipping them back to their native countries.

July 18th, 2008 at 3:48 pmHe probably violated several code of conduct rules for lawyers. He is a sick puppy, which is why he represents those clients. Sick, needs attention.
